Motion Design

As part of Monitor Liability Managers, LLC’s 20th Anniversary, they wanted to commemorate their company’s history through a visual journey in their homepage’s top banner. We took their new 20th Anniversary logo and integrated it’s design into the banner animation. Starting off with their current logo, we storyboarded a concept that would take website viewers through several words that described the company’s progression.
We used the “swoosh” from their current logo and created a path, where users could travel through the company’s years of growth. At the end, viewers would continue along the path as it wound its way around and through the new 20th Anniversary logo.
Here’s how the banner animation looked on their website:

MyMONITOR Mobile is a unique web-based (HTML5) mobile app that allows Monitor Liability Managers, LLC’s producers to provide immediate insurance quotes for clients on their mobile devices. As part of their complete mobile app product rollout, Monitor Liability Managers, LLC hired Delack Media Group to create a series of tutorial videos that would provide a visual step-by-step guide on how to use the mobile app. Users would be able to view these tutorial videos by selecting them within the app.

We spent some time using the app to see how users experienced it. Since users held their mobile device vertically to use the the app, we created all of the tutorial videos in a vertical space. We animated all of the screens, created an animated logo intro, and a motion animated phone for the end of each video. We worked with a professional voiceover and paired the videos with the same musical score that we used for the app’s promo video to ensure continuity between videos. The videos look amazing on a mobile device and we were very excited to help Monitor Liability Mangers, LLC with this unique multimedia project.

While Monitor Liability Managers, LLC’s IT Department was working hard on developing a new iPhone/mobile app for its producers, they wanted us to create a video that would promote the new mobile app, called MyMONITOR Mobile.

With about a month to produce the video, we mapped out an ambitious production schedule, including: pre-production meetings, graphic treatments and styleframes, voiceover auditions, musical scoring, post production, and final delivery. The goal was to finish production in time to display the video at an upcoming insurance industry conference.

After our pre-production meeting, we created a series of styleframes for the video from which the client could see the overall graphic layout. One of the main priorities of the promotional web video was to show how the mobile insurance app can be taken anywhere. So, we came up with the concept of showing rolling hills and the small MyMONITOR Mobile logos popping out of the hills. The birds in the background were also animated in the final web video production.

One of the challenges during the shoot was keeping the iPhone steady to keep continuity of the placement of that cell phone between scenes. We came up with the idea of creating a device that would hold the iPhone in place, while someone was typing on it.
In keeping with the mobile theme, we went with an upbeat musical track. We wanted the viewer to feel happy and upbeat about taking the mobile app anywhere. We held auditions for professional voiceover talent and provided the client with four finalists from which they picked their choice.

We completed production on time and within budget. Here’s the final video we produced:

In addition to the promotional video, we were also hired to create a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the app. We used the same professional voiceover for the production. The idea was to focus more attention on how to use the app and less on the graphics. We recorded the video segments at Monitor’s Rolling Meadows, Illinois campus.

Here is how the promotional video appeared on the company’s website:
